Cosmetic Surgery Claims

It is alarming that the UK’s multi-billion pound cosmetic surgery industry is not more tightly regulated. The lack of formal regulation encourages practitioners and clinics to put the pursuit of profit before the quality of medical care. It also allows the inexperienced, the insufficiently trained, and sometimes the outright unscrupulous, to flourish.
